AZ - What Would You Do ft. Jay Rush

Artist: AZ

Producer: Lil Fame

Album: Undeniable

Label: Quiet Money

 Send Ringtones to Your Phone

Although most reviewers considered Undeniable another strong album in AZ‘s ever-growing discography, the LP has had massive trouble selling (in fact, a recent Soundscan showed the Mormon Tabernacle Choir had outsold him).  Knowing his music isn’t sauced up for radio or BET spins, the Visualiza isn’t disappointed, but instead motivated to launch a new single.  On What Would You Do, AZ once again reveals his stressful street experiences, which from time to time have made him want to “let somebody have it.”  Bringing the soul, feature guest Jay Rush fights victoriously in the “belly of the beast” over an epic beat courtesy of M.O.P.‘s Lil’ FameWhat Would You Do is the fifth single to be released from Undeniable, in stores now.

Hmm, I'm rather impressed. Have not been an AZ fan but this is pretty good. Definitely feeling the beat and vocals (and throwback feel).

Classic! Period!. He delivers every time, and maybe before I die people will recognize he has one of the craziest flows to ever be recorded. He just slides on this track, and Jay Rush gives us a nice feel. Listen to the lyrics. Dude is sickkkkk, and always will be. One of Hip-Hops finest, and still underrated. I have copped his albums over and over again and still havent been disappointed. I can't believe people don't cop this dudes album. It don't matter though, AZ will always do his best to keep real hip hop going, and does a damn good job.

AZ's flow is nice. This is a "nice" song. nothing too special. Jay Cash is being over shadowed by Lyfe Jennings with thats gospel-raspy voice but he's hood. this does not make me want to buy AZ's Album.

DJ Keith, homey's name is Jay Rush...lol...not Jay Cash. But I am definitely digging his vocals. I've actually never been an AZ fan because I never really heard a lot from him. His flow is pretty solid and can put down a great classic-in-the-making type track.

His album is good! I've always respected AZ as an MC! Ya'll remember Sugar Hill?
Hip Hop Classic!! This song I describe as a breath of fresh air on production! 4 stars! Homeboys on the hook has a soulful voice too. kinda reminds me of cee-lo green! Good work!

I’m with FrankBlvd24 and TheGreatest! This is one of them songs that may not even go in heavy rotation, but that won’t abstain me from givin it the 4* it deserves, cuz what matters is everything on this song is solid, from his straight flow to the great feature, nice lyrics… I’d give it 5* if the beat had changed a bit somewhere through the song, it made the song a bit monotonous.

A real nice listen, but this doesn't even truly showcase the talent that AZ has on the mic. For a good amount of you out there, AZ was doin' it big with NAS before you were even up on hip-hop music. Do your homework and then listen to this one again.

I have no idea why he never got his shine. He been doing his thing ever since Illmatic.
Did his thing on The Firm album.

Give this brotha his respect.

Its a shame...AZ hasn't dropped a wack album to date, but can't get what he deserve in the industry. Cop all the AZ albums for some fire.

I'm sorta feeling this.. But I think the real question we should all be asking is: Will AZ EVER TEAM UP WITH NAS for a track again? These two cats are unstoppable together on EVERY track that they have ever done. Is there some background about why they haven't done anything in the past few years together?

Tell them DJ Z. AZ has been holding his ground for awhile. All I have to say is Sugar Hill.

Hands down one of the top 10 (and I would place him in the Top ) He flow is clearly one of the best. I have all of his CD's and they stay in rotation. This Undeniable shit is off the chain. Listen closely to some of the things he says on the "what would you do" i.e. Bruce Wayne got that Batman shyt in my vains so my ways is discreet thats how I play it in the street" (scratching my head-clever analogy) Boarding airplanes cocaine all on me had that no care stare mama bear tried to warn me.. then the foulness occurred when i finally got the word that some homies did me dirty with some shit I aint deserve but emerged from the madness with my mind so established.. The issue here is that he's not commercial so he isn't in rotation on the radio. But on the streets his shyt is banging. I teach middle school and my students like AZ way better than lil wayne and souljah boy
